Activating an emergency call
When you activate an emergency call from your wrist shaker, the PowerTel 980
telephone will go to handsfree mode and will beep for 15 seconds.
You will then hear as each of the emergency numbers you have stored under

The person answering the emergency call will hear the SOS message. When
they press the 0 button on their keypad, they will be able to talk to you via the
handsfree on your PowerTel 980 telephone for 3 minutes and the SOS procedure will be terminated and no further calls will be made. If there is no answer
or the 0 button was not pressed by the person answering the call, the next
number will be dialled after a further 60 seconds
During the last 10 seconds of this 3 minute call you will hear a warning beep
that the call will be disconnected.
If no numbers have been stored under the
,
or
keys on your
PowerTel 980 then you will just hear a long continuous tone after the beep tone
for 15 seconds and no numbers will be dialled.
